Nice Casual- Bistro type restaurant

Hi,

We will be staying in Chateau des Marais camp site in Mid July. While we are there, our elder daughter will celebrate her 17th birthday.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice casual bistro type restaurant in Blois or nearby, where we could celebrate that night?

Thanks in advance.

Sneaking off again Bean! This has to stop. Never been to Blois however this may help

Happy birthday to the young lady.

Thanks Lightblue!! Hope you%26#39;re doing OK.

Did you see my trip report on the Carcassonne Forum? Your help was very much appreciated.

Carcassonne was an atypical trip. The trip to France (starting next Friday) is the proper holiday ;o)

Blois and the surrounding area is lovely. The drives along the river are really scenic and the chateaux are fab.

We%26#39;re spending just short of a week near Vannes, just over a week near La Rochelle and just over a week in Blois, before returning via Picardy and the UK.

Three personal recommendations for you-

%26gt;Les Banquettes Rouges

%26gt;Le Triboulet

%26gt;Le Castelet

…castelet.fr/index-en.htm

First one is my favourite but they are all fairly equal in terms of quality, service and price (and they are all reasonably casual).

Let me know if you want more ideas :-)

Brilliant, Imisscornwall. Thanks so much.

They all look fabulous.

I%26#39;ve taken a note and I%26#39;ll report back, in late July ;o)

And one more for you-

Hotel St Michel

www.saintmichel-chambord.com/hotel-en.php

It%26#39;s bit more formal but it%26#39;s only 5 minutes away from where you will be staying and the restaurant looks out on to the Chateau of Chambord.

|||

...Could work well if you wanted to combine the evening with the Chateau%26#39;s Son et Lumiere, which I highly recommend you see.

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

Thank you for all your suggestions - we are leaving for France in a few hours time, we will be in Blois this time three weeks.

I will let you know how we got on when we get back.
